Mission 1 ACT: Find and Shadow a Hero
I found a good hero to shadow online: GROUNDCREW. They offer a service that makes it easy for communities to organize local activities such as clean-up days - everything is coordinated by cellphone! - Ken E.

Wow, color me jealous of your ace movie editing ability. Very cool and love that you put it together for EVOKE - definitely raising the bar!
Groundcrew seems to be part of an emerging theme I'm noticing about how we connect people. Several posts have revolved around collecting nodes and communication across networks. Through radio, cell phones, or the internet, this seems to be a problem indicative of the crazy technological swell of 2010 and I'm confident the solutions are going to be some of the greatest innovations going into 2020.

Great video! Groundcrew brings something that EVOKE could definitely used—coordinated action through something that most everybody has, a phone. Thanks for creating the video and keep on contributing; we could definitely use more inspiration in this area to help EVOKE be the best it can be.

The cell phone coodination idea is brilliance. Websites could be set up to promote, iPhone apps, facebook groups, twitter. Grow from the ground up.

Yeah, it just strikes me as one of those simple levers – what if you just took a tool like a cellphone (mobile) and made it so that you could leverage it 10x? All of a sudden a lot of things just became possible - or even easy. How cool is that!

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
